Alternative Title: Top 10 Greatest Batmans Edit: Tracking bloodstone triggers after he bought oops all sixes. -first hand 3/5 triggers (thinks it only happened once, chat tells him it hit twice) -second hand 5/5 triggers -final hand 4/5 triggers -total 12/15, higher than expected value of 10/15.

[@shrimpchris6580]

Everything about that mega joker pack play that led to him abandoning the run was baffling and I'm so here for it

[@slackclover5]

I get scared for the twitch chatters when he yells at them, I personally couldn't handle that intensity

I've been reading The Drunkard's Walk How Randomness Rules Our Lives. Its totally true that stats is insane and nothing matters.

[@RalorPenwat]

42:00 So the probability with blueprint is actually marginally worse than 50/50, it's 7/16. To calculate probability of either of two independent events inclusively, you take P1+P2 - P1*P2, so 1/2- 1/16. And if you're wondering about bloodstone, the probability of it not triggering at all is 32/243, or about 13%. It's a lot higher than I thought.

[@gaben.1422]

yeah but both jokers can hit at the same time so on average it's 8/16 or 50 %

[@RalorPenwat]

@@gaben.1422 I literally said it's inclusive bruh 💀

[@gaben.1422]

@@RalorPenwat that's cool and all but egg was talking about expected upgrades per played hand and that's 0.5

[@RalorPenwat]

@@gaben.1422 It's literally not. As I said, the mathematical operation I mentioned before is an inclusive or function, meaning it covers for the event where both trigger that you're talking about. What you're saying I'm talking about is the exclusive or function, which uses the same formula except you multiply the second half of the formula by 2, so that would be 3/8. It's not that complicated. Learn what words mean.

[@gaben.1422]

@@RalorPenwat uhh no chief, let me dumb it down for you: imagine you are rolling two 4-sided dice. 16 possible outcomes. how many 1s would you expect to get? how many 2s? how many 3s? how many 4s? now add those four results up. or just divide TWO dice by FOUR faces and you can easily see that you will on average get 0.5 of each 1-in-4 outcome.

[@Erzz197]

35:10 I think Jupiter couldn't appear in the packs because it was in your shop. Only one of a planet card can exist at a time, so if there's one in your shop, it won't be in the packs unless you buy it first. Similarly if you're holding a planet you won't find that planet in packs/shops, so you can hold bad planets if you have space to make good planets show up more.

[@powerlifting1012]

Good tip

[@powerlifting1012]

Wonder why that is a rule

[@lucianoariasduval]

​​@@powerlifting1012 No duplicates! you can find cards again, but only one at a time. Think of them as individual decks, I think it's specially intuitive with tarot cards: there's only one copy of each card in a deck - if you have it in your hand or it's already on the table, you can't draw it from the top of the deck. That is, unless you have the joker that allows duplicates to show up.

[@powerlifting1012]

@@lucianoariasduval ok that logic makes sense. Showman is the one that can make multiple appear

[@Nikowo1610]

@@powerlifting1012Also a tip from me, if you've broken your banana then showman can go insane to get multiple cavendishes, they're a common so it's honestly not even hard to get three of them if you need some good jokers

[@MrOdekuun]

Space Joker actually is 1 in 5 on the console version, which I believe is an earlier version. Would be hilarious if the text was updated but the probability wasn't and he was actually right. But I have no idea.

[@MrVovansim]

10:05 this is the time stamp you chili oil junkies are looking for

[@maxwilliams9774]

I was so confused when he killed superposition…. It totally looked like he was doing it on purpose despite him saying he wanted to kill the flash card

[@andytheaardvark1]

i think he acted like he meant to do it as to not give chatters any ammo edit: nevermind he just didn't realize lol

[@radarhead82]

The long silence followed by "well, I guess we don't have to worry about playing aces anymore" really feels like he just didn't want to give satisfaction to the backseaters. Honestly I applaud his restraint

Would love a joker that makes RNG sequential instead, so 1 in 3 chance is 1 every 3 instead for example

so I play on the console version and the odds of some cards are different than the pc version, space joker is 1 in 5 on console instead of 1 in 4.......given the inconsistencies of some of the chance cards, I wonder if they messed up somewhere
